Take Care Of Your HVAC System

Believe it or not, there are a lot of common misconceptions people have regarding their HVAC system, and they tend to make simple mistakes when it comes to using their unit in the best way possible. As a homeowner, you know just how high utility bills can get, especially if you use the wrong practices, or ignore your HVAC system altogether. To ensure that your system will go the distance, properly heat or cool your home, and keep money in your wallet, you should avoid making the same mistakes with your HVAC system that other homeowners consistently make.

Avoid These HVAC System Mistakes

Purchasing Too Large of a Furnace/ AC – Surprisingly enough, this is one of the more common mistakes homeowners make with their HVAC system. Not having the proper size of furnace or AC unit can lead to higher energy costs and discomfort within your home.

Skipping Annual Maintenance – Every year there are a substantial amount of homeowners that skip their furnace maintenance. Come winter time, their heater doesn’t work and they are left with freezing temperatures in their home. The same goes for the opposite seasons, with the air conditioning maintenance being overlooked, leading to a less than cool home.

Not Changing Filters – Many homeowners believe that changing your air filter isn’t necessary, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Depending on where you live you should be changing your filter every three to six weeks. Those that live in larger urban areas are encouraged to change their air filter every 4 weeks.

Furnace maintenance is important to be on top of, as well as air conditioning repairs. Making sure that your HVAC system is in it’s best shape whatever season that is approaching will help you to save money on bills, and more importantly repairs.
